!DAILY UPDATES! September. 366 days: your 2016 in photographs

[Frank Fremerey]

I took so many pictures today but I am too tired to even browse them. Good night.

[Frank Fremerey]

I dare something and post a picture totally unpumped in natural contrast and color:

and here is a pretty standard edit, more or less what you would expect today:

September 23rd  Sunny, will be a warm weekend.

Well Frank, unpumped and natural should not be too difficult.  This is a completely unedited RAW from the Df.  Resized in Bicubic - Smooth gradients  to 1200.     
The second one is edited to my liking ( at the moment)

Frank and John, which Picture Control do you use?  I use "Flat" and with the sharpening set to "zero".

[John Geerts]

Picture control, Akira?  That's the in-camera setting for jpg's, not?  I took directly the NEF and loaded it into ACR 16 bit- (all settings to 0) and resized in CC.

[Akira]

John, if I understand correctly, the NEF itself is not affected by the Picture Control settings, but ACR will open and display the NEF according to the Picture Control settings.

John, if I understand correctly, the NEF itself is not affected by the Picture Control settings, but ACR will open and display the NEF according to the Picture Control settings.

I just found that my ACR has been set to "Adobe Standard" in the "Camera Profile" pull-down menu under the camera icon tab.

What is your settings in your camera and in ACR?

[John Geerts]

No, not really. That's actually impossible in ACR. It's probably overwritten by the camera-profile, I guess.    Anyway, in-camera Profile I just have the Standard and sharpening set at 9.

[John Geerts]

ACR has Adobe Standard, but it's overwritten with camera settings, I think.   

In ACR the file opens always with Color Space: ProPhoto RGB  in 16 bits

I only use ACR through Lightroom, but camera profiles certainly do affect raw files. Normally when I import raw files recently in my case Fuji RAF files the camera profile is set to Adobe Standard! When I change to Provia Standard there is definitely a change on screen!

It has been quite a while since I imported an NEF file! so I can't remember how they were affected.

[Akira]

My NEF file seems to be opened under Adobe Standard, regardless of the camera setting, which I never noticed!

I think Mike is experiencing the same behavior of ACR...

[John Geerts]

Yes, so ACR opens neutrally without any In-Camera profiles, as it should.  A Raw file cannot have any pre-settings which just apply to view in the camera.

[Mike G]

Akira that is right, I haven't found a setting to open a file(s) using a camera setting so I have to change the profile whilst editing! Of course an in camera profile will only affect a jpeg file!

Just have to remember to change it while in edit mode!
